It is a cloud solution. We have integrated it with Amazon AWS. Sometimes we can't mitigate the DDoS attacks using AWS WAF. It doesn’t detect the attacks. AWS WAF does not have some options to differentiate the type of attacks. I use the tool only as a DDoS solution. I just use the DDoS service to protect myself. There's no scalability for this option. Documents already exist for all the cloud solutions. I wouldn’t prefer an automated solution for integration because apps are built based on customers’ requirements. The requirements differ, so the default profile for automation can't fit all the customers. Overall, I rate the product a nine and a half or ten out of ten.
I rate Cloudflare DDoS 10 out of 10. Before you opt for Cloudflare DDoS, you should understand that every cloud provider includes DDoS. If you are hosting your services in AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure, you already have DDoS, so secondary protection isn't necessary.

The industry is changing right now. There is artificial intelligence. You have blockchain, and Quantum is on the way. It's there and on its way. So there is a significant shift in that area, of cyber security. And, on top of that, there is a global shortage of 3.5 million security experts or professionals. You are not an expert in your first year. People believe they are experts because they have a certification or something similar. Experts do not behave in this manner. Expert in dealing with a crisis. To become an expert, you must go through many crises. However, people are now claiming to be experts simply because they can scan something. I would rate Cloudflare DDoS a seven out of ten.

Before implementing this solution, consider the size of the individual company: their cost budget, their budget range, and their specific needs. What are they looking for? If you're looking for an all-in-one security tool with DDoS, WAF, and rate control, all in one package for a low price, Cloudflare seems to fit pretty well. It really depends on the individual company — what their application is based on. Take TikTok for example. TikTok has heavy traffic laws, so their security needs will be very different from my company's needs. We're low profile, we don't generate tons of traffic. So, it really depends on your environment, your budget, all of those things. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine.
Cloudflare SASE & SSE is a comprehensive platform that integrates Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Security Service Edge (SSE) functionalities. As a SASE solution, it replaces traditional network security with a cloud-based model that combines networking and security services at the network edge, using a "Zero Trust" approach for continuous verification of access. The SSE component focuses on securing access to cloud applications, offering Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)...
